A binnacle is a waist-high case or stand on the deck of a ship, generally mounted in front of the helmsman, in which navigational instruments are placed for easy and quick reference as well as to protect the delicate instruments. Its traditional purpose was to hold the ship's magnetic compass, mounted in gimbals to keep it level while the ship pitched and rolled. A binnacle may be subdivided into sections and its contents typically include one or more compasses and an oil lamp or other light source. Other devices such as a sand timer for estimating speed may have been stored in the binnacle as well.
And from another dictionary:
Noun
binnacle (plural binnacles)
- The wooden housing for a ship's compass, with its corrector magnets and illuminating arrangements; the log and other equipment for measuring the ship's speed is also stowed there.
- The instrument cluster on a car or motorcycle
For some time, the term Binnacle has often been used to describe the instrument cluster in cars

I think I cracked the mystery. After visiting my dealer's lot this morning, it appears that all GLC's with the top stitched dashes have the binnacles. That is included with the interior package only I believe.

If you mean the exclusive Nappa leather, yes. It is $1450 extra and requires the interior package. The interior package used to be listed at $2500. Then they removed the top-stitched trim($650) and reduced the price to $1850. But, if you order the interior package you must also order the top-stitched trim. Same difference. On the other hand, if you order the top-stitched trim, you must order the interior package. Back to $2500. So, to get exclusive Nappa leather, it will cost a total of $3950.

I do not know if their is a cost but what I have found is every car with the chrome binacles has that code irregardless of whether they had the interior package/leather.

It's still a mystery to me why some GLC's have them and some don't.

I have exclusive package p22 on my build sheet. No charge listed. If you go to other Mercedes sites for example Australia there is Build pdf that has an exclusive package that includes the p22 code for the binacles. It is used in cars with certain leather interiors.

The dash stitching on the dashboard that's also included in the Sport Package? I got the Sport Package but it did not include P22. Will be picking my car up tomorrow so I can report on what's included!

It will be interesting to see what your car has. I'm not sure why this has to be so hard to figure out? Mercedes would be doing customers a favor if there was something on the Build Configuration tool that made this simple to know.

Adding to the confusion, yesterday I found GLC300's with the flat-bottom steering wheel, matching "standard" 18" wheels (rbrylaw), and the same 20" wheels available in Europe. I officially give up trying to figure things out.
-Black accented 20" wheels (MB configurator)
-Grey/silver 20" wheels
-Silver 18" "standard" wheels
-Flat-bottom steering wheel (designo package too)
I was under the impression that the flat-bottom steering wheel and grey 20" wheels were unavailable in the US market.
